Uncle Sam’s Pork For The Farm Lobby
November 1, 2007, 9:00pm
The Competitive Enterprise Institute has a message about how farm subsidies harm consumers, taxpayers and the poor: “U.S. farmers are lobbying for even more at a time when farm income is at an all-time high. And the agriculture lobbyists may get their extra pork in the 2007 farm bill if the senators match the plan adopted by their colleagues in the House of Representatives.”
CEI said the bill would cost taxpayers $286 billion over 10 years.
